====Setting Up an RDP Account====
1. Open the Server Manager. (Second button from the left on the bottom toolbar.)
 2. In the Upper Right hand corner, select Tools -> Active Directory Users and Computers. A box will pop up. 3. On the left hand side of this box, there is a folder titled "Users". Right click on that folder, and select New -> User. 4. Fill in the fields, and select Next. 5. On the next screen, enter your password. Unselect the box "user must change password on next login", and check the box "password never expires". 6. Select Next, review your entries, and hit "Finish". 7. There now should be a little person icon in the "Users" folder with your name on it. 8. Remember this Username and Password. This is how you will log onto the RDP.  ====Adding Someone to a Privileged Group====Certain groups have more administrative access on the RDP. If someone needs to be added to a group, you can do this in the same window as the previous section. 1. As before, Open the Server Manager, go to Tools -> Active Directory Users and Computers, and double click on the "Users" folder. 2. Find your User in the Users folder. Right click on the User, and select the option "Add to a group...". 3. Here, you need to know what group your User needs to be added to. Type it in the box, and if it is a valid group, the name will be underlined. Then hit OK. ====Getting onto the RDP==== 1. Go to the App Store (Mac) or whatever Windows uses, and search for the application, "Microsoft Remote Desktop." It should be the first application in the results. The logo is an orange box with a computer in it. Download it. 2. Open it. 3. Select the "New" button (the big +). Enter the following information: {|Connection Name|McNairRDP|-PcName|rdp.mcnaircenter.org|}
